- Don't keep the SPDIF state in the driver private struct since it
can be overriden by hand with pciconf(8), query it when needed instead.
Regarding the locking I let Ariff explain it himself:
---snip---
About the locking, that is what I'm intended to do since the beginning.
The reason I'm not putting that along since my first patchset was
because several people especially from amd46 camp reported that it cause
lots of LORs, which is weird considering that I've never encounter such
in a pretty much strict locking environment (i386). However, since our
previous discussion with Pyun YongHyeon about strict locking, I've
decided to bring it back for all the affected drivers, not just for
es137x. It turns out that the root of the problem was within dsp.c
during device open, which has been fixed since dsp.c revision 1.84.

Queue insertion/removal occur during
1) driver loading (which is pretty much single thread /
sequential) or unloading (mutex protected, bail out if there is
any channel with refcount > 0 or busy).
2) vchan_create()/destroy(), (which is *sigh* quite complicated), but
somehow protected by 'master'/parent channel mutex. Other
thread cannot add/remove vchan (or even continue traversing
that queue) unless it can acquire parent channel mutex.

* New definition CHN_F_HAS_VCHAN.
- channel.c
* Use CHN_F_HAS_VCHAN to mark channel with vchan capability instead
of relying on SLIST_EMPTY(&channel->children) == true for better
clarification and future possible usages of children (like
'slave' channel).
* Various fixes, including blocksize / format bps allignment,
better 24bit seeking (mplayer, others).
* Improve format chain building, it's now possible to record something
to a format non-native to the soundcard through various feeder format
converters or to higher sampling rate. This also gains another feature,
like doing vchan mixing on non s16le soundcard such as sb8.
- sound.c
* Increase robustness within various function that handle vchan
creation / termination (these function need a total rewrite, but
that would cause other major rewrite within various places too!).
As far as its robustness can be guaranteed, leave it as is.
* Optimize channel ordering, prefer *real* hardware playback
channels over virtual channels. cat /dev/sndstat should look
better.
* Increase sndstat verbosity to include bufsoft/bufhard allocation.
- vchan.c
* Fix LOR 119.
- http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor.html#119
* Reorder / increase robustness of vchan_create() / destroy().
Enforce destroy_dev() during destroy operation, fix possible
panic / dangling character device.
- http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-May/050308.html
* Tolerate a little bit more during mixing process, this should help
non s16le soundcards.
Note: Recoring in a non-native rate/format may result in overruns. A friendly
application is wavrec from audio/wavplay. The problem is under
investigation.

From the PR:
---snip---
The vibra16X supports full duplex. I traced the Windows driver, and what is
does is that it programs one DMA channel 8-bit, and the other 16-bit. There
might be some kind of auto detection logic here, because it always uses 8-bit
for playback, even if I play 16-bit sound ...

event handler, dev_clone, which accepts a credential argument.
Implementors of the event can ignore it if they're not interested,
and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third
party packages containg cloning kernel modules.

1. Support wide range sampling rate, as low as 1hz up to int32 max
(which is, insane) through new feeder_rate, multiple precisions
choice (32/64 bit converter). This is indeed, quite insane, but it
does give us more room and flexibility. Plenty sysctl options to
adjust resampling characteristics.
2. Support 24/32 bit pcm format conversion through new, much improved,
simplified and optimized feeder_fmt.
Changes:
1. buffer.c / dsp.c / sound.h
* Support for 24/32 AFMT.
2. feeder_rate.c
* New implementation of sampling rate conversion with 32/64 bit
precision, 1 - int32max hz (which is, ridiculous, yet very
addictive). Much improved / smarter buffer management to not
cause any missing samples at the end of conversion process
* Tunable sysctls for various aspect:
hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemin - minimum allowable sampling rate
(default to 4000)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemax - maximum allowable sampling rate
(default to 1102500)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_buffersize - conversion buffer size
(default to 8192)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_scaling - scaling / conversion method
(please refer to the source for explaination). Default to
previous implementation type.
3. feeder_fmt.c / sound.h
* New implementation, support for 24/32bit conversion, optimized,
and simplified. Few routines has been removed (8 to xlaw, 16 to
8). It just doesn't make sense.
4. channel.c
* Support for 24/32 AFMT
* Fix wrong xruns increment, causing incorrect underruns statistic
while using vchans.
5. vchan.c
* Support for 24/32 AFMT
* Proper speed / rate detection especially for fixed rate ac97.
User can override it using kernel hint:
hint.pcm.<unit>.vchanrate="xxxx".
Notes / Issues:
* Virtual Channels (vchans)
Enabling vchans can really, really help to solve overrun
issues. This is quite understandable, because it operates
entirely within its own buffering system without relying on
hardware interrupt / state. Even if you don't need vchan,
just enable single channel can help much. Few soundcards
(notably via8233x, sblive, possibly others) have their own
hardware multi channel, and this is unfortunately beyond
vchan reachability.
* The arrival of 24/32 also come with a price. Applications
that can do 24/32bit playback need to be recompiled (notably
mplayer). Use (recompiled) mplayer to experiment / test /
debug this various format using -af format=fmt. Note that
24bit seeking in mplayer is a little bit broken, sometimes
can cause silence or loud static noise. Pausing / seeking
few times can solve this problem.
You don't have to rebuild world entirely for this. Simply
copy /usr/src/sys/sys/soundcard.h to
/usr/include/sys/soundcard.h would suffice. Few drivers also
need recompilation, and this can be done via
/usr/src/sys/modules/sound/.
Support for 24bit hardware playback is beyond the scope of
this changes. That would require spessific hardware driver
changes.
* Don't expect playing 9999999999hz is a wise decision. Be
reasonable. The new feeder_rate implemention provide
flexibility, not insanity. You can easily chew up your CPU
with this kind of mind instability. Please use proper
mosquito repellent device for this obvious cracked brain
attempt. As for testing purposes, you can use (again)
mplayer to generate / play with different sampling rate. Use
something like "mplayer -af resample=192000:0:0 <files>".

* Add kernel hint option to disable DXS channels entirely. Report
from several skype users / Pav Lucistnik indicate that disabling
DXS may fix lots of pop / crackling noise. To disable DXS add
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints.
Further investigation of the issues regarding DXS showed, that
the problem is in another (more generic) place, but until the
right fix is tested/reviewed this may help a little bit.
Added sysctl's to aid testing/debugging:
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled=X - Disable / Enable DXS channels entirely
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_channels=X - Limit DXS channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_sgd_channels=X - Limit SGD channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_src=X - Enable / Disable DXS sample rate
converter.

especially for CT4730 / EV1938 chip, causing misconfigured mixer

* Incorporate locking/spdif patches from Jon Noack / matk. Not all
es137x can really do spdif, clean it up a bit to only let few capable
chip. This adds a "hw.snd.pcm<unit>.spdif_enabled" sysctl until
a more generic way of handling this from userland (by an ordinary
user) is designed/implemented.
* Convert all bus_space_(read|write) to use es_rd/es_wr, simmilar
with other drivers.
* Add tunable hw.snd.pcm<unit>.latency_timer sysctl to toggle pci
latency timer value on the fly. Much noise / pop / crackling
issues can be solved by increasing its value. Other people have
pointed out to use pciconf instead, but this is just an added
value specific for CT4730/EV1938.
* Remove es137x specific debug sysctl/code.
